Why No Affiliation Is Fastest Growing Religious Affiliation
You knew Colorado Springs is home to dozens of big evangelical organizations, but did you know it is also home to big-league atheists Becky Hale (president of the American Humanist Association) and Gary Betchan (who runs the secular emporium, EvolveFISH.com, out of a storefront located next door to a church)?
The two say they never would have met if it weren’t for conservative “religious crazies” seeking to impose their values on the city.
You can read the Gazette story about their journeys and their work here:
Know Your “Nones”
I also wrote a stat-filled sidebar, connecting Becky & Gary’s story with national polling data from Pew and Gallup.
This data suggests that nones outnumber true believers in Colorado Springs. The sidebar was not published with the article, but you can read it.
